==You do realize they're brothers?==[[Image:Wincest pic.jpg|300px|right|thumb|Wincest manip by nemo]]Wincest fic arose the moment the show was aired, supported by the typical ingredients a slasher needs: two extremely hot guys, a dead girlfriend, and a brotherly love that leaves no room for anyone else. Add a bit of spice like daddy issues, betrayal, childhood trauma and emotional dependency and you have your perfect dish to satisfy hordes of [[Slash]] fans. * 2005.09.14: Within hours of the [[Pilot]] airing, the first Sam/Dean fic is posted as the first fic at [http://community.livejournal.com/supernaturalfic supernatural_fic] and sn_slash. The story is [http://supernaturalfic.livejournal.com/550.html 'Reunion' by janedavitt] * 2005.10.16 First recorded use of the term ''Wincest'' as a [[Fic Warning]] in [http://joyfulgirl41.livejournal.com/261178.html Can’t Just Walk Away] by joyfulgirl41. * 2005.10.25 Fic community [http://community.livejournal.com/wincest/ Wincest] opens. And it wasn't only fangirls who noticed the dynamic. [http://www.nathanexposed.com/blog/2005/11/supernatural-is-supergay.html Gay blogger Nathan Exposed] wrote in November 2005 "It’s like the Hardy Boys, only gayer. The cheese factor is no surprise. This is the WB, after all. But I love the awkward sexual tension between the brothers." In December 2006 Sera Gamble admitted to teasing Eric Kripke by referring to the story the writers were telling as [[The Epic Love Story of Sam and Dean]], a phrase later used by Eric himself in the [[Season 5 DVD]] commentary to [[5.04 The End]]. Obviously pairing Sam and Dean in a sexual relationship is something does not appeal to all fans, and some are strongly opposed to it. On [[Livejournal]], the centre of the fandom for writing, art and vidding, Wincest and non-Wincest fans have generally co-existed peacefully in the fandom and there has been very little [[wank]]. From the start of the fandom, many authors have written across both [[Gen]] and Wincest genres, which probably lessened the likelihood of opposing camps arising. Due to the fact that there are so few recurring characters on the Show available as potential partners for Sam and Dean in fanfiction, [[slash]] fans who were uncomfortable with Wincest moved into writing and reading [[Jsquared]] fic, many of whom would previously have avoided [[RPF|RPS]] fandoms. This lead to the phrase "Supernatural fandom - where RPS is the moral high ground"! After the appearance of [[Castiel]] in Season Four, the pairing of [[Dean/Castiel]] offered a non-incestuous [[Slash]] pairing, and attracted a new crop of writers to the fandom. Some communities on [[Livejournal]] and message board forums ban mentions of [[Wincest]]. For example [[Supernatural.tv]] states "This community as a whole has nothing against homosexuality, but this is a site about Supernatural--two brothers with no romantic feelings for each other--and changing their relationship changes the characters we tune in to watch every week. As another site states, fans borrow characters when they use them in creative work. If fans change major aspects of characters, they might as well create original characters." ''Supernatural'' is certainly not the first fandom to feature a popular incestuous pairing. There's the Weasleys, Draco and Lucius Malfoy and the Black family from ''Harry Potter'', Simon and River Tam from ''Firefly'', the Eppes brothers in ''Numb3rs'', all the Petrellis in ''Heroes'', and not forgetting Luke and Leia in ''Star Wars''. In [[RPF]] Gerard and Mikey Way from ''My Chemical Romance'' have been a popular pairing in recent years.Nasty
